Today anti-violence activist and author Mariame Kaba returns to discuss Prison by Any Other Name: The Harmful Consequences of Popular Reforms by Maya Schenwar and Victoria Law for The Stacks Book Club. We highlight the depth of knowledge that this book provides about the history and current state of criminalization, and unpack the idea that prison is something that ties us all together. We ask why so many so-called reforms look like prison and policing, and what solutions might work in their place.

Be sure to listen to the end of today's episode to find out what our December book club pick will be.

You can find everything we discuss on today's show on The Stacks' website: https://thestackspodcast.com/2022/11/30/ep-243-prison-by-any-other-name
